Long Forgotten

T'was a year ago when we 
were saying our goodbyes,
and it was this time night
after night I would cry as
I loved you so much...

Our time was limited and our
time was short, but even so,
I made you a home each and
every time you came to me...

But it was not enough--
not what you wanted, 
so you left, and moved on,
and i was alone.

I moved on, but still so often
looked back-- and I would still
stretch out my hand to you, even now,
if I knew you would take it...

Love never fades easily,
even after a year, time doesn't
always heal all wounds, and there
is always a scar.

God be with you, my love,
my thoughts always are,
and my heart always will be--
even after many years, when I am
long forgotten.
